69 Photos of the Agony and Ecstasy of Gay Dodgeball

Just look at these people. Happy, healthy, diverse, and bursting with a sense of community. These are the gifts of Gay Dodgeball. These photos by Matt Baume were taken at a pick up game this last Sunday at Yesler Community Center in Seattle. But folks, Gay Dodgeball is growing in cities across the U.S. This game in Seattle was only $5 per player. Do you know how much a Mojito costs in a mid-level bar these days? This sport -- the one that tortured you in grade school -- could be your salvation.
